GolfCoachDirect.com is a service that I highly recommend and wish to express its benefits to the public for the good of our sport. This service is a simple yet effective new way to give and take golf lessons over the internet in a live format. GolfCoachDirect is performed live via a webcam feed, and it brings a golf lesson into your home!
This service takes a unique approach in giving a golf lesson by default, but is fully customizable. Traditional lessons are usually given in an hour long session where a coach gives the student two or three things to work on, and then spends the remaining time watching the student hit balls. With GolfCoachDirect, the lessons last ten minutes and are recorded for student play back over and over again.
A student will seek out a coach either by using the Online Now feature that shows coaches which are currently online awaiting lessons, or with the Search feature. Searching for a coach can be done by location, name, or specialty. Once a coach’s credentials via their bio catches your eye, you are ready to request a lesson or send a message to the coach requesting further information.
The coach will receive an e-mail notification letting them know that someone wants to take a lesson at a certain time decided by their set availability schedule. When the coach accepts the lesson, it’s on! Both the student and the coach sign into their accounts on GolfCoachDirect.com and click the enter lesson button where you are warped into a eye-popping new world of golf instruction.
The student and coach each have their own webcams which pop up on their screen as clickable icons for full screen view. In addition the student has the ability to upload swing videos from any camera format that the coach can review in full speed or slow motion in real time. If that’s not enough for you, the window has a third icon that incorporates split screen capability where the coach can compare the students swing to a host of tour player videos, or another swing of their own.
Coaches will enter tips as the the lesson goes along, and use drawing tools to demonstrate their points right on the video screen. Once it’s all said and done, the video is saved on GolfCoachDirect’s server and the student can refer back to the instruction.
The possibilities are endless with features like your own personal swing video locker, community of people that you interact with using the service, and the ability to imrpove your golf game in the comfort of your own home. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars for a lesson that may or may not be right for you, why not pay twenty dollars for a lesson that’s really going to drive home a message in between other lessons?
This service will also allow people who have established coaches that are not available when traveling to be in constant contact. It will add revenue to your already growing golf instructional business, or give you the confidence to hit the links with your clients and friends.
